Hello everyone. Its nice to meet you all. Its great to be here. I'm Sky. I'm a 19 year old dude from Texas.




I was recently diagnosed major depressive disorder and bipolar 2 disorder. I also have major anxiety and traits of PTSD and OCD. And I've been told by doctors that I'm very likely somewhere on the autistic spectrum.



My interests include science, politics, history and dinosaurs/paleontology.



I enjoy the simple things in life like netflix, cooking, video games, working out, cuddling, memes, and drawing/sketching and coloring. I'm definitely a cat person, even though I'm allergic to cats.



I have two tattoos and dyed purple hair and everyone that I know thinks I look adorable and cute like this. I look almost like a younger Al Pacino with glasses.



There isn't much I can do with my life, even if I want to. I've only just been diagnosed and told all this recently, and I'm still adjusting to my new life after being discharged from a mental hospital. I'm really working on myself and rebuilding connections and love with my family, who are taking a more active and caring role than before. I've grown and matured a whole lot lately and made peace with who I am and what I want in life.



I can't hold down a job for very long or very well because of my mental disorders, so my family is applying for SSI/disability for me.


Music-wise, I like rap, rock, metal, rapcore, grunge, and some electronic and electro-swing music.


My favorite movie ever is 9 (2009) by Shane Acker and Tim Burton. My favorite shows ever include The Amazing World of Gumball, Voltron: Legendary Defender and any of the Ben 10 and Power Rangers series.


I mainly want a girlfriend who would move in with me or date me and also enjoys doing the simple things in life with me, and is maybe even autistic as well.



Almost all the girls that I've dated are punkish, boyish women who are slightly older than me and were long-distance relationships, and I wouldn't at all mind continuing this. Except I want someone who understands me or at least empathizes with me and my disorders and doesn't abandon me or berate me.




I can be quite a bit of a handful at times and I'm a very divisive person. Almost everyone either absolutely loves me or absolutely hates me, with almost no in-between. Except most of the people in my life currently tell me that I'm extremely sweet, passionate, considerate, cuddly, protective and very headstrong and confident, and that I'm way too hard on myself.

How ya doing SkyWatterson?

You seem like the kind of Aspie that has really done quite well. You should be proud of that. I am currently 16

History and politics are some incredibly interesting fields. I am extremely passionate and obsessive about them as well. What areas of them are you interested in?

Its very nice to meet you Shahunshah.



Thank you, I appreciate being told that. You seem to be doing alright as well.


I like all of history in general, but I'm especially interested in things like the industrial revolution, the Soviet Union, Mao Zedong's China, the Cuban Revolution, the American Revolution, the Korean and Vietnamese wars, ancient civilizations, things like that.



And the politics of modern America, Mexico, Cuba, Britain and the Philippines interest me as well.

Same here. As of late I have been looking at America, France etc, I have just looked a biography of Andrew Jackson. He was kind of like the Trump of the 1800s.

You seem to be interested in allot of Cold War history and revolutions. Seems interesting...

Welcome to Wrong Planet!

Hi Sky, welcome.

Welcome! It's nice to meet you too.

Totally agreed, Jackson was like the Trump of the 1800's. Except somehow even worse.



Thank you haha. I'm a bit of a Russophile and I'm really interested in socialist/communist history and events.

Yeah Jackson did some insane stuff as president. It makes me worried about what Trump could accomplish as the powers of the president has changed very little since then.

Hmm mind if I ask, are you a socialist?

I do worry about what Trump could accomplish, but by the looks of things he will hopefully be kicked out relatively soon.



I totally am, caught me red-handed, haha. I have been ever since September/October-ish.

Yeah, but then it would be President Mike Pence.

Lol that's what I thought you might be. I myself am quite centre left, what made you such a radical?

Agreed, Mike Pence would be even worse. But its a start, and hopefully he would be kicked out as well.



Its kind of a funny story. I was watching youtube one day and I was feeling really bored. I saw a video about communism in my recommended list and decided to watch it, which led me down a rabbit hole of watching videos, reading, researching, analyzing and discussing with socialists. And here I am today.

I am praying that in 2018, the Democrats win back the House. They need to utilize the passion from the Trump protests and Women's Marchers into their own Tea Party, and if they do they win big.

Yeah, you would like my sociology teacher. He is all about loving Marx. A typical lesson of his involves him decrying fox news as propaganda, saying the right is greedy all those things. As for me, I think Socialism goes a little to far.

I hope for a revolution.


Your teacher sounds awesome and I would love to chat with him. He sounds really cool.



I can definitely see where you must think that, but socialism doesn't mean that everything is controlled by the government or that everyone makes the same amount of money. Its simply a society where workers democratically own their businesses and means of production, and objects and labor are used or made to benefit society as a whole, rather than to profit.

Yeah he is Jamaican English. He came from one of the immigrant families that I think moved their in the 50s or 60s. He came from working class backgrounds so he knows how tough it is to work your way up.

Their are concerns I have with him though. He is a little on sided and quite charismatic. He makes socialism seem kind of cool to the students but doesn't really give them a chance to see the other side I feel. He is fine with discussion and is open minded however.

Socialism is complicated. France implemented somewhat socialist politics under their current president, Francois Hollande and the effect of taxing businesses more was that the purchasing cost for French families increased from 41 to 48%, quite dramatically really. I am just not sure whether these policies should be adopted if they don't always work.

I would think its because "the other side" is already implied to be known and widely discussed.


There isn't such a thing as somewhat socialist policies. Socialism isn't simply more taxes, either.


Actually, I'm not sure if there is a policy that is always going to work, just one mores likely too.


I do know France has some of the best healthcare in the world, single-payer healthcare. But the rich can pay for private, non- necessary healthcare if they are lower on the waiting list.
